The name refers to an ancient symbol depicting a snake devouring its own tail that was made famous by alchemists. In the context of PragmAlchemy, the Ouroboros is the âtouchstoneâ for pushing inward in order to expand outwardâphysically and energetically.
Most types of bodywork, while often helpful in relieving symptoms, tend to struggle in getting to the root of structural problems. This is because these techniquesâinvolving manual manipulation, foam rollers, and the likeâare usually unable to penetrate hardened connective tissue (fascia) and release its strong connections to bone.
The Ouroboros, on the other hand, owing to its density and gently curved edges and corners, allows you to safely apply sufficient pressure to undo restrictive fascial adhesions anchored at the bone level.
This revolutionary tool can help you quickly release impediments that compromise the flexibility of your connective tissue. In so doing, the Ouroboros helps create optimal physical and energetic spacing around cells, tissues, and organsâgiving them room to function at their very best.
Physically, this can increase blood flow and lymph movement, facilitating 1) nutrient and oxygen absorption; 2) healing; and 3) manageable detoxification.
Energetically, while making space for more life force to be stored in the body, use of the Ouroboros as a tool for resistance breathing also tremendously elevates the ability of the breath to pull in greater amounts of energy that can be applied to rejuvenation and much more.
